The unit purpose is to develop the underpinning knowledge and essential make-up skills which form the basis of all make-up applications. Learners will research the facial structures, skin characteristics, colour correction and make-up products, tools and equipment which will enable them to apply this knowledge when planning and performing make-up looks on a range of categories for female and male models. This unit would be relevant to the learner following a career in fashion make-up or make-up artistry. The unit may also be delivered as a stand-alone unit.
The unit is a mandatory unit within the HNC Fashion Make-up and HNC/HND Make-up Artistry.
